I'm sorry you feel that way because I would like to believe I'm the least 
narrow minded person when it comes to religion and God.  You do have 
personal questions that you have to answer for yourself, Hawke and I 
respect that.

If you are searching for something to believe in, start with yourself.  
You have to find God within you and not you within God.  The search for 
something to believe in isn't external it is internal.

Point:  The inqusition was caused by people who refused to accept that 
        there could be any other religion aside from Christianity.  I have
        nothing but contempt for that idea.  I have no idea if my belief 
        system is correct.  I only know that I have to believe that it is.
        I would be a hypocrite otherwise (Can't spell for the life of 
        me!).  I accept, however that other people believe other than I do 
        and I respect that.  The search for God is personl and internal I 
        only offer my beliefs so that other can determine if they believe 
        what I believe or if they don't want to believe that.  It's a 
        personal choice and I can only hope that they believe in God and 
        Jesus christ because then I have someone to worship with  :)

I hope you see that neither I nor the rest of the church is your enemy.  
The church is here to help you find yourself and God.  I don't really know 
why I'm here (a question I'm sure a lot of people ask!) but I'm still 
searching.  The difference is I'm doing that search with God.
